for any reason any person or persons drawn as a grand juror or grand
jurors shall fail to attend and be present at the conclusion of the drawing
or be disqualified, or be excused for cause, the court shall forthwith pro-
ceed to fill such vacancy or vacancies from the remaining number of 25
names of those who are present in the order in which the names were
drawn from the election district or districts, corresponding with those
from which such vacancy may be created, as above, but if there be no
names, or persons, or an inadequate number of them left in the boxes for
the districts where the vacancies occur, the court may fill such vacancies
by drawing the necessary number of names or persons, from any of the
districts at large; and may thereupon, in its discretion, fill such vacancy
or vacancies thus made in the petit jury by drawing the necessary num-
ber of additional names in the manner prescribed in this Act from the
district or districts wherein such vacancy or vacancies may be; or such
vacancies in the petit jury may remain unfilled, if the court deem it
unnecessary to fill them.

list of names to be placed in the box for the drawing, and certifying to
the list, shall cause the names on the list to be numbered, commencing
with the first name thereon, numbering upwards consecutively, and then,
instead of requiring the names on the selected list to be written on ballots
and placed in and drawn from the box, the said judge or judges drawing
the jury, in his or their discretion, and option and in lieu of such written
ballots, may cause the Clerk of the Circuit Court for the county wherein
they are to be used to provide a number of white marbles or balls, each of
the same size and plainly marked with numbers from one consecutively
upwards to the highest number on the selected list of names certified to
by said judge or judges, which said marbles or balls shall be placed in the
box from which drawings are made in the case where ballots are used,
where the drawings are made by districts, the marbles or balls shall be
deposited in the district compartments in such way that their numbers
shall correspond, in each district, with the names on the judge's or judges'
selected list and the numbers thereof; the said judge, or judges, shall then
cause the Clerk of the Court for the county in which the drawing is being
made, or one of his deputies whom the said judge, or judges, shall desig-
nate, neither the one nor the other who may be so required to act to be
present at the selection of the said list of names or the numbering of the
